My area has a # of 'condemed' poles still in service, some have held this classification for years. Many times they will go unaddressed until i (or other sparky's) come along to do a service upgrade, then the fertilizer hits the ventilator....

The guys appear to be bonded together on the telephone pole across the street. Please take my word for it; I tried to get a picture of the other pole to prove that the bonds did exist, but my camera sucks.

Not to be nitpicky (consider the source) but a bond differs from liability insurance, but the joke was appreciated anyway...

Took a closer look today... You're absolutely right. In the sunshine, the fiberglass(?) rods before the turnbuckle became easier to see. The beam had been repaired, but I'm certain nothing else was changed.

OK , first off the part that the line is lying on is a fiberglass rod called a "guy strain insulator". And it looks like it has done its job!

Secondly if that is Delta then you are allowed one ground. At least I guess it would be the same for primary as it is for secondaries. Just guessing. All I have ever worked on was WYE when it comes to primary voltage. Unless you consider 2400/4160 primary. I do not.
